Re: XCopy and Vista and Relative Paths

Yes, you still have to add NTFS permissions. Vista operates under the least privileged user model and will assume that you should not write to sensitive folders unless the user is explicitly granted permissions.

To use command line programs "as administrator" including registering ActiveX controls, run cmd.exe as administrator. I pinned the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt" shortcut to my start menu for this reason.

Hello Bryan,

I made my user have administrative rights, do I still have to add NTFS
permissions for the folder?

Another question is that I can't seem to register any ActiveX controls which
worked on Windows XP. I assume there is a security setting for that as well,
but I am not sure where to look for it?

Thanks for your help!
